Chapter One

I’m not typically the sort to go into the New Year with my fists full of resolutions, but 2025 begs for new habits. With a little more breathing room in the upcoming year—which is also chock-full of wonderful creative things, lots of travel, and some fairly substantial life events!—and my perennial effort to reduce time wasted online, I’m spending less and less time slugging through the toxic wasteland of social media, and looking to connect with friends and readers in the quieter corners of online spaces.

And thus, here we are. (Full disclosure: I tried Substack once before and failed (read: forgot), but I am a better, more organized Lindy now, so **fingers crossed**)

Yes, I’m still on Instagram. Yes, I still have my monthly newsletter. Substack is where you’ll find Thoughtful Things about writing, editing, publishing (and baking and crafting and other silly stuff, and probably a good many pics of my dog). It’s also a trove of my previous (and ongoing) bylines and columns, all posted as reposting rights become available. And, of course, a great place to dish on all the wonderful projects I am lucky enough to be a part of!

So, that’s it. Welcome to my all-new Substack, which I’ve affectionately decided to call Evans Funeral Parlor, because this is where the messy business is done. I like to think Ducey would be proud.
